Well, I WAS going for 25 lbs by the 25th which also happens to be my 25th birthday.
BUT
I don't think I'm going to make it. Last week I weighed in as 20.6 total loss. It would be a miracle if I made the 25 mark tomorrow at weigh in. Though TECHNICALLY, If I weighed in at 25 next monday, I would have lost the 25 BY my birthday on the 25th.
We'll see. I'm doing my best.

i did a bad thing tonight. i ate when i was sad. BUT, i recognized that i was doing it.
tonight a friend of mine said something that sort of offended/made me sad, so when i came home, i sorta pouted about it and then ate a snack sized kit kat.
and the terrible thing is....i feel a tad bit better.
what IS IT about food?
it is evil.
just when i think i've got control over my eating (i only ate veggies and drank crystal lite-ish drink tonight at my party) i go and end off the day with a treat? hmmm.

20 pounds
Hey there folks! I know, it's been some time.
BUT I have excellent news!
This week (today) at Weight Watchers, I was down .2 for a GRAND TOTAL weight loss so far of 20 pounds!
It seems I hovered around 20 for a few weeks. BUT today I was finally down that exact .2 lbs for my next 5 lb star award. only.......to go.
this was a great day/week. Now the next thing I need to buy is a new skirt for church. Mine is too large. YAY. that has rarely ever happened to me. Buying clothing because things were too big for me...I could get used to this.

"But Pickles" Monday
Every Monday, after weighing in at Weight Watchers, mom and I go to Subway for lunch. I get the same thing each week.
6" wheat veggie delite sub
Miss Vickie's Jalapeno Potato Chips
Diet Coke
Each week, I order this and I say "I'd like everything BUT pickles" when she asks what veggies I want.
So i've deemed Mondays my BUT PICKLES mondays. lol. It's the little things in life.
OH
and
This week, my total weight loss so far is 19.4 lbs. yay!

It was brought to my attention in my Weight Watchers meeting on Monday, that when you lose weight, you sleep better. I hadn't thought about this until a woman said it and I realized that I am in fact getting better sleep. My back doesn't hurt while laying down all night and I don't find myself tossing and turning through the night like I did before I lost these 17 pounds. I used to think it was my old lumpy mattress, but really, I think it is the weight I'm working on taking off.
I am doing pretty well with the limited meat thing. Every few days I find myself having something with some chicken in it, or yesterday I had a turkey sub from Jimmy Johns (which I LOVE) but as far as red meat, I've managed to steer clear of it and have been feeling great. This past week I am having to really focus on getting in the greens and other protein sources so it's not just a carb load. I feel great after eating lentil soup or hummus and peppers and pitas, or a veggie burrito.
I used to think that "those people" that don't eat meat were just being annoying, but I am taking this turn in life for ME. It isn't about being like everyone else. It isn't about (necessarily) what the world is saying about carbs and ethics or whatever. No. This time, I am trying to find the right balance with food that works for my body so that I can achieve the results that I need to get my body into it's best form. It's best shape. I want to be healthier and have more energy. If taking out meat helps me to do this, then taking out meat is what I'll do. If it turns out that I do want to re-introduce meat into my life, then I will learn that as I go. Bottom line is, I am trying to listen to my body more and feel what I'm feeling.
